[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dropped 65 in the mail today and I have another 35 to address or hand deliver.

I’ve only received 10 or so thus far, but it’s early. We usually have an influx of cards pile up when we are away for Christmas and it’s nice to return home with happy mail waiting.

When our kids were young, we sent nearly 200 cards each year (we had a lot of older relatives still around as well). Now it seems like a lot of our peers stopped doing cards (I recognize it gets challenging once the kids go to college/launch).

We have always displayed our cards as holiday decorations, and many of our friends and family do the same. A number of people have told me they save our cards and literally have upwards of 20 years worth of Christmas cards/photos from us. One person actually asked me if I wanted the collection her grandmother kept of our cards, and I happily took it (to save for my kids). I was touched that someone appreciated them to such an extent, so I’ll keep sending them out each year.

I have culled the list a bit. I’ve heard some people make negative comments about photo cards (“family ads”), the environment, etc. so I’ve stopped sending them to those people. But I hope the tradition doesn’t die.

I think happy mail like Christmas cards, birth announcements, wedding invitations, etc. are lovely in the moment as well as for keepsakes.

Please keep sending them, folks.[/quote]

I absolutely love receiving them but have only gotten about 5 so far this year which is much below normal. We sent about 150. [/quote]
